Since we struggle without a point shot threat or get many garbage goals it comes to being lethal on sniping goals. Scoring off the rush is hard to do in todays game & we are not suited for it yet. Its rare we get odd man rushes & need accuracy & good ol dogging the puck to get our chances. Doesn’t help that our D don’t activate deep into the rush & open up east west chances.
We have the speed throughout the lines but our 5 man units are not scaring anyone.

EK would be worth going for if he hits the market. IMO he’s a bit lost in SJ with Burns there. I could be wrong but til he lights it up like he can i think the fit hasn’t worked out as well as some would’ve hoped. He’s an alpha type who needs to be da man.

And he needs someone to wipe his bum bum because he just poops all over the ice in his own end. Tanev could be that guy, but I think I'd rather Quinn be that all out offence guy and spend money elsewhere. Lots of nice UFA's this year. I also don't like the ego stuff that's come out of Ottawa since he left.

I hearya but i don’t get into ego stuff if it gets our scoring up. I look at the Leafs & see how having Reilly & Gardiner gets the breakouts going or they skate it out.

As for the big bucks yes that’s the big issue but we have the cap space. A bonus laden contract would be how to go maybe.

Pairings as follows

Edler EK
Hughes Tanev
Hutton EG
Stecher

Pouliot & MDZ gone for whatever

If no EK i’m fine but i still muse over it & try to find out how the dynamics might end up.
